Rewrite In Progress

I am currently in the process of completely rewriting this application from scratch. The code for the old version was an absolute disaster, written nearly four years ago when I first started learning Python. The new version will be written in Python 3 and use PyQt5.

Unfortunately I don't have a timeline on this new version but a rough guess for an early release would be early July 2014. Eventually I hope to get an actual stable release ready for Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic) in October. Windows builds will be released when time permits.

(I will also add a link to the project page on GitHub once I am a little bit further into this.)

About

StackApplet is a small status icon that sits in your desktop's notification area and alerts you to events that happen to your accounts. You will receive notifications about new answers, comments and reputation changes. All Stack Exchange sites are supported. The application is written in Python and the preferences page uses JavaScript.

Not sure if this is a bug on my end, but recently the application has been giving me network errors for Stack Overflow, Ask Ubuntu, and Raspberry Pi SE. I attempted reinstalling both via DEB and via the PPA, but it still was giving me errors.

So, I tried removing all of them, and then tried to add them back, but I get this:

and there are no options under Site. Is this a bug somehow, or a result of an API change or the update?

EDIT: It's now just giving me Unknown error:

Any idea what could be causing this?

EDIT: Found the cause. There is an issue with the 1.5.1 version, 1.5.2 is working almost perfectly.
